1077 - How To Calculate After-Repair Val...

BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

What’s the number one skill all real estate investors need? It’s how to accurately estimate after-repair value (ARV). This critical skill could help you determine if a property is a good investment or something you should pass on.

Knowing the value of a property is essential. Whether you’re a buy-and-hold investor interested in turnkey properties or a fix-and-flipper looking for a property needing serious work, you need this information. “Buy low and sell high” is real estate’s core success formula—but to know you’re getting a good deal when you buy, you need to know how to estimate future value.

Here’s how real estate investors can calculate ARV for single-family homes or other small residential properties. Commercial or larger multifamily properties are not covered here because they require a different process.
